A Westfield Matildas development squad will enter their second camp of the year in Canberra today (19-22 April).

Westfield Matildas Head Coach Tom Sermanni has selected a 35-player squad for the three day training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport.

“We had a fantastic camp in Wollongong last month and some of the players that have been brought into the squad have really stepped up to the rigours of national team training well,” said Sermanni.

“At this camp we are also bringing in some of our injured players, including Bubs (Melissa Barbieri), Sam Kerr, KK (Elise Kellond-Knight) and Lauren Colthorpe, to monitor their rehab and check on their progress.

“It’s a big squad this time around which means we will be able to try a lot of different things and continue to test out some of the younger players as we move towards our next Asian and World Cup cycle.”

The Westfield Matildas camp also coincides with the FFA National Junior Championships for Girls also held in Canberra.

State Under 13 Girls bound for Canberra

Western Australia’s State Under 13 Girls squad is ready for the challenge that lies ahead at the National Youth Championships next week, according to coach Elisa D’Ovidio.

WA will play five games over the three-day tournament in Group B alongside NSW Country, VIC Country and Tasmania.

“The girls have been training together for a good solid seven weeks, three nights per week,” said D’Ovidio.

“They have progressed tremendously since the beginning and have shown some promising signs in some of their scratch matches against the boys.

“I am really happy with where they are at and have great belief in the girls that they will do quite well in Canberra.”

D’Ovidio also says playing attractive football is her main priority.

“You always want to try finish top of your group, but my aim is to play good football and hopefully get one or two players identified from WA, as this group has some very talented girls who have shown they can compete at a higher level.

“I am looking forward to watching some of these girls shine and let’s hope all their hard work pays off at the end.”

The tournament kicks off on Wednesday 18 April at Hawker Stadium in Canberra.

In 2012, all home clubs are required to submit results to Football West by one of the following means:
1. By SMS to 0452 233 842 before 5:30pm
